Fixings to Metal Decks, Beams and Purlins
Universal Joint UG
Application
Universal connection for attachment to non-horizontal components.
May be fixed directly to building surfaces, Beam Clamps, channels, etc. Typical uses would include easy on-site manufacture of various tie rod assemblies to support brackets, or reinforcement struts for sliding and fixed point applications (UG FP types are specifically designed for assembly for pipe clamp wings for fixed point constructions).
- Infinitely variable angle adjustment
- Length and height adjustment via rotation of the grub screw in the threaded pivot head
- Securely retained threaded pivot head
- Secure attachment of nut on the adapter plate.
Scope of delivery
With adapter plate and locking nut.
Installation
Screw the grub screw completely into the pivot head (visual control).
Fix the adjusted angle by tightening the supplied nut against the adapter plate.
